\"Better<\/p>\n

Halloween is a time for spooky costumes, haunted houses, and, of course, mountains of candy. While savoring a sweet treat is a cherished tradition, a few confections are packed with alarming amounts of sugar.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalloween is a fun and festive time of year, and it’s perfectly okay to enjoy some candy,\u201d says Evelyn Arteche, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian at Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cHowever, it’s important to strike a balance between enjoying the treats and maintaining a healthy diet. Balance is key and serving size is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to high sugar content, most candy contains artificial colors and flavors. Eating sugary candies can also trigger cravings for more sugar and create a cycle of overconsumption that is difficult to break.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at the worst Halloween candy you can eat and a few less scary options to satisfy your sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

The Worst Offenders<\/h3>\n

Candy Corn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing quite divides the masses like candy corn. Some people adore its tricolor, sugary sweetness, but others won\u2019t touch it. This iconic Halloween candy is composed almost entirely of sugar and artificial colors, offering minimal nutritional value. A handful of candy corn can set you back in calories, and it\u2019s easy to consume way too much without realizing it.<\/p>\n

Smarties <\/strong><\/p>\n

Although they are lower in calories than other candies, they are purely empty calories. They may give you a quick sugar high, but they lack any essential nutrients.<\/p>\n

Rock Candy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock candy is crystallized sugar on a stick, which means it\u2019s essentially just a concentrated chunk of sugar. It offers no nutritional benefit and can be quite harsh on your teeth.<\/p>\n

Sour Patch Kids\/Sour Candy<\/strong><\/p>\n

These sweet and sour gummies are often considered among the worst candies because in addition to sugar, they contain high levels of acid, which can erode tooth enamel and contribute to cavity formation.<\/p>\n

Airheads or Taffy-Type Candy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packed with artificial colors and flavors and containing pure sugar, these may take you back to when you were a kid, but they won\u2019t satisfy. The taffy-like texture can stick to dental work, such as fillings or crowns, loosening them and increasing the risk that they could fall out.<\/p>\n

Black Licorice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black licorice has a love-it-or-hate-it reputation, with its strong, distinct flavor. However, when it comes to health, black licorice can be a real nightmare. It contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that can lead to potassium imbalances and high blood pressure if consumed in excess. It\u2019s best to limit consumption of this candy.<\/p>\n

Better Candy Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough no candy is truly a health food because of the high sugar content, there are some options that are relatively healthier compared with traditional candy,\u201d Arteche says. \u201cKeep in mind that even these options should be consumed in moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dark Chocolate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dark chocolate, particularly with a high cocoa content (70% or higher), contains antioxidants and may offer some health benefits, such as improved heart health when consumed in moderation. It typically has less sugar than milk chocolate.<\/p>\n

Chocolate-Covered Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dark chocolate-covered almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts provide a mix of protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants.<\/p>\n

Fruit-Flavored Gummies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for gummy candies made with real fruit juice and without artificial colors or flavors. These can be a better alternative to traditional gummy candies.<\/p>\n

Nut Butter Cups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some brands produce nut butter cups made from natural nut butter and dark chocolate. These offer a balance of protein and healthy fats.<\/p>\n

Sugar-Free Candies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sugar-free versions of classic offerings are designed for individuals with diabetes or those looking to reduce sugar intake. These treats are sweetened with sugar substitutes like xylitol or stevia, which have fewer calories than sugar, though excessive consumption of xylitol can lead to gastric distress<\/p>\n

Make It Mini<\/h3>\n

Miniature candy bars are a good alternative because they are portion controlled. By choosing the \u201cfun size,\u201d you can satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your nutrition goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to choosing healthier candy options, it\u2019s important to read labels carefully to check for candies that are lower in sugar, have fewer artificial additives, and potentially offer some nutritional benefits,\u201d Arteche says.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself with bags and bags of left over Halloween candy, and don\u2019t want the extra temptation around, try to seek out a local charity where you can donate your extra treats for others to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the holiday, but always be mindful of portion sizes and try to balance your candy consumption with a well-rounded, nutritious diet.<\/p>\n

Mejores opciones de alimentos: Edici\u00f3n de dulces de Halloween<\/h2>\n

Halloween es una \u00e9poca de disfraces espeluznantes, casas encantadas y, por supuesto, monta\u00f1as de dulces. Si bien saborear un dulce es una tradici\u00f3n preciada, algunos dulces contienen cantidades alarmantes de az\u00facar.<\/p>\n

“Halloween es una \u00e9poca del a\u00f1o divertida y festiva, y est\u00e1 perfectamente bien disfrutar de algunos dulces”, dice Evelyn Arteche, MS, RDN, dietista registrada en Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cSin embargo, es importante lograr un equilibrio entre disfrutar las delicias y mantener una dieta saludable. El equilibrio es clave y el tama\u00f1o de la porci\u00f3n es importante\u201d.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s del alto contenido de az\u00facar, la mayor\u00eda de los dulces contienen colorantes y sabores artificiales. Comer dulces azucarados tambi\u00e9n puede provocar antojos de m\u00e1s az\u00facar y crear un ciclo de consumo excesivo que es dif\u00edcil de romper.<\/p>\n

Echemos un vistazo m\u00e1s de cerca a los peores dulces de Halloween que puedes comer y algunas opciones menos aterradoras para satisfacer tu gusto por lo dulce.<\/p>\n

Los peores delincuentes<\/strong><\/p>\n

ma\u00edz dulce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nada divide mejor a las masas que las pastillas de caramelo. Algunas personas adoran su dulzura azucarada y tricolor, pero otras no la tocan. Este ic\u00f3nico dulce de Halloween est\u00e1 compuesto casi en su totalidad por az\u00facar y colorantes artificiales, lo que ofrece un valor nutricional m\u00ednimo. Un pu\u00f1ado de ma\u00edz dulce puede hacerte perder calor\u00edas y es f\u00e1cil consumir demasiado sin darte cuenta.<\/p>\n

sabelotodos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aunque tienen menos calor\u00edas que otros dulces, son calor\u00edas puramente vac\u00edas. Es posible que le produzcan un subid\u00f3n r\u00e1pido de az\u00facar, pero carecen de nutrientes esenciales.<\/p>\n

Caramelo<\/strong><\/p>\n

El caramelo de roca es az\u00facar cristalizada en una barra, lo que significa que es esencialmente un trozo concentrado de az\u00facar. No ofrece ning\u00fan beneficio nutricional y puede ser bastante duro para los dientes.<\/p>\n

Sour Patch Kids\/Caramelo amargo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estas gomitas agridulces a menudo se consideran entre los peores dulces porque, adem\u00e1s de az\u00facar, contienen altos niveles de \u00e1cido, que pueden erosionar el esmalte dental y contribuir a la formaci\u00f3n de caries.<\/p>\n

Caramelos tipo caramelo o cabezas huecas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Llenos de colorantes y sabores artificiales y que contienen az\u00facar pura, estos pueden hacerte retroceder a cuando eras ni\u00f1o, pero no te satisfar\u00e1n. La textura parecida al caramelo puede adherirse a los trabajos dentales, como empastes o coronas, afloj\u00e1ndolos y aumentando el riesgo de que se caigan.<\/p>\n

Regaliz negro<\/strong><\/p>\n

El regaliz negro tiene una reputaci\u00f3n de amarlo u odiarlo, con su sabor fuerte y distintivo. Sin embargo, cuando se trata de salud, el regaliz negro puede ser una aut\u00e9ntica pesadilla. Contiene glicirricina, un compuesto que puede provocar desequilibrios de potasio y presi\u00f3n arterial alta si se consume en exceso. Lo mejor es limitar el consumo de este dulce.<\/p>\n

Mejores opciones de dulces<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAunque ning\u00fan dulce es realmente un alimento saludable debido a su alto contenido de az\u00facar, existen algunas opciones que son relativamente m\u00e1s saludables en comparaci\u00f3n con los dulces tradicionales\u201d, dice Arteche. “Tenga en cuenta que incluso estas opciones deben consumirse con moderaci\u00f3n”.<\/p>\n

Chocolate negro<\/strong><\/p>\n

El chocolate amargo, particularmente con un alto contenido de cacao (70% o m\u00e1s), contiene antioxidantes y puede ofrecer algunos beneficios para la salud, como una mejor salud del coraz\u00f3n cuando se consume con moderaci\u00f3n. Normalmente tiene menos az\u00facar que el chocolate con leche.<\/p>\n

Nueces cubiertas de chocolate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las almendras, nueces o avellanas cubiertas de chocolate amargo proporcionan una mezcla de prote\u00ednas, grasas saludables y antioxidantes.<\/p>\n

Gomitas con sabor a frutas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Busque gomitas hechas con jugo de fruta real y sin colorantes ni sabores artificiales. Estas pueden ser una mejor alternativa a las gomitas tradicionales.<\/p>\n

Tazas de mantequilla de nueces<\/strong><\/p>\n

Algunas marcas producen tazas de mantequilla de nueces hechas con mantequilla de nueces natural y chocolate amargo. Estos ofrecen un equilibrio de prote\u00ednas y grasas saludables.<\/p>\n

Caramelos Sin Az\u00facar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las versiones sin az\u00facar de las ofertas cl\u00e1sicas est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para personas con diabetes o quienes buscan reducir el consumo de az\u00facar. Estas delicias est\u00e1n endulzadas con sustitutos del az\u00facar como el xilitol o la stevia, que tienen menos calor\u00edas que el az\u00facar, aunque el consumo excesivo de xilitol puede provocar malestar g\u00e1strico.<\/p>\n

Hazlo mini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las barras de chocolate en miniatura son una buena alternativa porque se controlan las porciones. Al elegir el \u201ctama\u00f1o divertido\u201d, puede satisfacer su gusto por lo dulce sin descarrilar sus objetivos nutricionales.<\/p>\n

“Cuando se trata de elegir opciones de dulces m\u00e1s saludables, es importante leer atentamente las etiquetas para verificar si hay dulces que tengan menos az\u00facar, menos aditivos artificiales y que potencialmente ofrezcan algunos beneficios nutricionales”, dice Arteche.<\/p>\n

Si se encuentra con bolsas y bolsas de dulces sobrantes de Halloween y no quiere caer en la tentaci\u00f3n adicional, intente buscar una organizaci\u00f3n ben\u00e9fica local donde pueda donar sus golosinas adicionales para que otros las disfruten.<\/p>\n

Celebre las fiestas, pero tenga siempre en cuenta el tama\u00f1o de las porciones y trate de equilibrar su consumo de dulces con una dieta completa y nutritiva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
